Sweet ride, seen it at Brainerd. I'm not far down the road in Rome, but usually run at Paradise. Gonna try a Carb 6.0 in a Fox body.
You know of any 6.0's for sale in our area?

I love me some double nickles. One of the guys I grew up with has a '90 chevy truck green fiffty five that runs 10's and looks killer.
I love your project and seeing those numbers on a stock 6.0 makes me feel good about what my 6.0 300zx is going to run. Here is what I think you need and it should only run you about 8 or 9 hundred bucks. Call Calvert and get some call tracks with the split rear springs and a set of rear leaf spring sliders with the bearings from Jegs and your car will launch straight as and arrow with both wheels the same and better 60 foot times. We have run that set up on many cars and have seen as quick as 1.21 60's with street tires. Here is a car I wired and did the brake lines in stainless on. It has the caltrack set up and runs 9.60's on a small block chevy all motor 421.

wanted to answer questions about fuel line and fittings. fuel line is 3/8 aluminum from the tank to the fuel rail, i bought at a local supply company. i ran hi psi rubber fuel line(about 8-10 inches) on each end (good up to 300psi.) clamps are also from supply company. i do NOT recommend the clamps at most auto parts stores. they usually fail when tightening.

also, throttle body is stock 01 (cable style). intake is also an 01 stock truck intake.
